Paramus came out of the line of scrimmage hard and was able to block Evan Starr’s extra point kick, which opened the door for the Spartans to take the lead. They marched down and converted on a 4th and 9 touchdown to tie the game at 20. The extra point was good, and they ran off celebrating. This loss drops PV to 0-2.
